I'm pretty much in the same boat. Lots of experience in my field (rigs/ down hole) that's what I've been doing since I was 18.
Problem is any job I would take with better hours and less pay would have to basically be an entry level position.
Yes the money is nice but like stated above, kids are growing up too fast.
I have been noticing the most fun i have with them are the hikes, working on things ect. stuff that doesn't cost much. They don't care how new of vehicles we drive or how nice of house we have. This has been changing my views a lot but honestly, i'm scared to leave a good paying but notoriously stressful job to start over again.
I think you already mentioned the biggest thing...Having your wife on board and willing to help. The choice is yours but not many people on their death bed think "I should have worked more".
